“The Infrastructural enhancement and road networks have transformed Taraba’s landscape and improved connectivity and accessibility thus impacting the lives of the people.
“A revamped healthcare sector has ensured quality and accessible healthcare to all residents of Taraba, who equally enjoy robust security measures to safeguard the well-being of citizens and maintain peace and unity in the state.
